3. Teenage Diary & Summer with Monika
Grace Dent rifles through the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio archives to celebrate the awkward, emotional, and unfortunately inevitable adolescent experience.
Grace Dent locks herself in her teenage bedroom for one last time, and rifles through the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Archives to celebrate the awkward, emotional, and unfortunately inevitable adolescent experience.
Grace concludes reminiscing about the heartbreak and arguments that were an everyday part of her own teenage years growing up in Carlisle in the 1970s.
She takes Young Adult author Steven Camden back to the park to conjure up memories of adolescent boredom and longing and persuades some real-life teenagers to explain their lives, lingo and of course mobile phones to her.
